  • Telomere Binding Protein Antagonists for Stem Cell Therapy

    Creator:
    VanGarde, Aurora
    Abstract:
    Understanding the mechanisms through which stem cells self-renew is important for the development of new therapies to repair and restore damaged tissue. This research explores possible mechanisms of telomere mimic action and seeks to validate a new assay for evaluating telomere binding antagonists and studying the effects of telomere binding...

  • Phytochemical characterization of Fagonia indica and its effects on MCF-7 breast cancer cell line

    Creator:
    Kumbi, Yadano
    Abstract:
    Phytochemicals from the genus, Fagonia, have been attracting increasing attention due to their potential beneficial effects on human health, particularly, anti-cancer properties. Certain Fagonia species contain various types of phytochemicals such as saponins, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, terpenoids, and tannins. In this study, we investigated the phytochemical composition of a...

  • Enhancing Protocols to Improve Consistency Across Nanotoxicology Studies

    Creator:
    Luker, Sabrina R.
    Abstract:
    In current nanotoxicology research, there is a lack of standardization in reporting of zebrafish exposure media and sonication practices. This lack of standardization in use and reporting methods has made reproducing nanoparticle (NP) toxicity results between labs a common issue. It is important to have a standardized way of reporting...

  • Use of Platelet Rich Plasma for the Treatment of Subclinical Endometritis in Beef Heifers

    Creator:
    Puttman, Elizabeth A.
    Abstract:
    Postpartum uterine inflammation (endometritis) is not uncommon in beef cattle, resulting in infertility and culling. Prolonged calving may contribute to the increased incidence of endometritis in heifers. Commonly used methods to treat endometritis in beef cattle include intrauterine antibiotics and/or hormone injections, which can result in meat residues. Platelet rich...

  • Bait and Trap Design Preferences for Drosophila suzukii

    Creator:
    Marcus, Monica H.
    Abstract:
    Knowledge of Drosophila suzukii's preference for an attractive trap design and bait can be used to improve detection and management of this new invasive fruit pest. Desired trap and bait attributes include: high D. suzukii capture and species specificity; early-season detection prior to significant crop damage; higher capture of females...

  • Geographic variation in the seed mycobiome of Coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii)

    Creator:
    Bergmann, Gillian E.
    Abstract:
    Seeds are an essential component of plant life histories, and seed endophytes have the potential to influence germination, seedling establishment and development. That said, seed endophytes are a relatively new area of study, both in the factors that influence which taxa are present and how these microbes alter plant function....

  • Biochar as a cover for dairy manure lagoons: reducing odor and gas emissions while capturing nutrients

    Creator:
    Dougherty, Brian W.
    Abstract:
    Liquid manure lagoons are known to be sources of odor and environmentally damaging gas emissions. Land application of the manure slurry after storage can lead to detrimental nutrient runoff and leaching. Floating lagoon covers (biocovers) are one option for reducing emissions, but to date they have only been used to...
